Apparatus and methods generate equalizer coefficients for an equalizer of a receiver. In a high-speed receiver, received symbols can be subject to inter-symbol-interference (ISI). An equalizer can compensate for ISI and improve a bit error rate (BER). However, traditional adaptive techniques to generate coefficients for equalization can generate corrupted coefficients when equalized samples used for adaptation are based on clipped or heavily compressed signals. In certain situations, the clipping rate can be relatively high, such as over 20%. Equalizer performance is improved when the equalized symbols used directly or indirectly for adaptation are selected such that equalized symbols based on clipped input samples are not used for adaptation. |
